after 5 rounds.
A player gets the total of the dice and records it in
his/her column, unless a “one” comes up.
If a “one” comes up, play is over for that round
and all the player’s points in that column are
wiped out.
If “double ones” come up, all points accumulated
in prior columns are wiped out as well.
If a “one” doesn’t occur, the player may choose
either to try for more points on the next roll or to
stop and keep what he/she has accumulated.
